Repairing Inexpensive Colt 22 Rifles: Courier, Colteer and Stagecoach

If someone were to ask you which products Colt has sold over the years, would you say a .22 semiautomatic rifle? I didn’t think you would. Colt made three versions of .22 rifles, the Courier, Colteer and Stagecoach, as well as others under several private-label names for Sears, Wards and other companies. This alloy rifle shot well, but did not hold up well. Unless it was kept oiled and clean, the alloy parts wore very rapidly. In spite of this, the little Colt rifles were good enough lightweight shooters that most owners will pay to get them fixed rather than discard theirs.

Troubleshooting Ejection Failures On the Remington 1100

Introduced in 1963, the Remington Model 1100 shotgun has been around for over 40 years now. Variations include a sporter for field shooting, a Magnum version for ducks and geese, as well as a skeet and trap model for those who enjoy breaking clay targets. In all, there have been well over 3,500,000 Model 1100s produced over this period of time so you are bound to see one (or more) come across your bench. In this article, I’ll cover some of the common problems that result in ejection failures along with a few of the possible glitches that aren’t seen very often. And, of course, I’ll examine the cures that will help you get this shotgun back in service as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Evil + Stupid = Bipartisan

What's ahead for the midterms? Jeff Knox at The Firearms Coalition says, 'There might be a few Democrats who haven't been able to bring themselves to declare support for the Second Amendment, but the official party line is broad support for the constitutional right, while interpreting it in the narrowest terms, and doing all they can to undermine and dismantle it.' As for the other party, 'Republicans, on the other hand, are generally supportive of the right to arms, but few of them have any more understanding of the issue than do the Democrats. They definitely lack the resolve and the backbone to vigorously oppose the Democrats' attacks on the Constitution and the President's appointments of radical extremists to the courts and high level government positions.'

Are the model 700 or model 770 good rifles? Mediocre rifles? Is this worth it? How bout those Marlins?

I do not remember ever reading a gun test with a Remington in it that Gun Test liked.

The Model 700 Remington is THE most popular rifle on the market today. It's action is strong, it's reasonably accurate, and comes in a huge variety of calibers, barrel lengths, stock styles, and the whole list over again also comes in stainless steel. When it came time for my son to get his first adult hunting rifle, he got a a Remington 700 in .270 Win.

Even so, I prefer military autoloaders. Just a minor character fault of mine.

Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated.

I've shot Rem. 700's for almost 40 years and feel that they are accurate dependable and fairly priced. The current models don't seem to have as much care in the detail as earlier ones. Bullsear

ref: last comment, what else is new! Overpriced crapola. Thats what you get when you buy american guns...nuff said.
